About Me

We are a Peruvian/Dutch couple that met in 2013 during André's road trip around South America.
After visiting each other several times, André decided to move to Peru in 2014 while Daniella was finishing her study.

Returning to Peru from a road trip in the US, we decided that we were not ready to settle yet and applied for a New Zealand working holiday visa.
On our way back to Peru, we got married in 2016 which we celebrated on 6 continents and then finally 'settled' in Lima.

During the last years, two little travelers have joined our team which makes us a family.

The last years we have been hosting travelers from all places at our home in Lima and the kids love it.

Now the time has come now to sell our house, hit the road again and see if someone is crazy enough to host a family of four 🙈.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

During André's travels in South America in 2013, he used couchsurfing a lot and met amazing people. Many of them he is still in touch with. After this great experience, we decided to try couch surfing together during a road trip in Europe in 2014 and again we met great people and had unforgettable experiences. We love to see how hospitable people are, sharing their live, couch, food and experiences with each other. Couchsurfing is much more than just getting around on a budget but it opens a new world. Thanks to all the people that have hosted me/us it changed our live in a good way. Now that we do (on and off) have a house to share, were happy to pass on the favour.
